Update express to Service Pack 1 ATL Security Update

It is important that you have the 4053 version of the VC80 CRT installed, for Express editions this means installing http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7c8729dc-06a2-4538-a90d-ff9464dc0197&displaylang=en

Compile against the correct VC80 4053 CRT

The previous patch does not appear to correctly update the default CRT that programs built with 2005 Express link against, to correct this behaviour edit C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\crtassem.h and change

#ifndef _CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION
#if defined _USE_RTM_VERSION
#define _CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION "8.0.50608.0"
#else
#define _CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION "8.0.50727.762"
#endif
#endif

#ifndef _CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION
#if defined _USE_RTM_VERSION

winres.h

This file is not present with Visual Studio 2005 express due to it mainly being an MFC header (MFC is not included with express), the actual requirments of this file are very low, it basicly needs to include windows.h and define IDC_STATIC.

Recommended work around is to create your own winres.h, in the Visual Studio system include location, so you always have it for all builds.

on a 32bit system - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\winres.h on a 64bit system - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\winres.g

#ifndef _WINRES_H
#define _WINRES_H

#include "windows.h"
#ifndef IDC_STATIC
#define IDC_STATIC 1000
#endif
